Popular Attractions in San Antonio • The Alamo The 300-year-old Mission San Antonio de Valero was the site of a pinnacle battle during the Texas Revolution in March of 1836. Here, 189 Texas defenders held off Mexican General Santa Anna's 4,000 soldiers for thirteen days. • River Walk In the city center, the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is made up of cobbled walkways, bridges, cafés, shops, restaurants and bars along the river’s edge. Its three miles of pathways are a full level below city streets, creating the ambiance of a secluded oasis. • San Antonio MissionsNational Historic Park Comprised of four out of five San Antonio missions: missions Concepción, San José, San Juan and Espada. Travel from mission to mission on the eight-mile Missions Bike and Hike Trail. • La Villita As San Antonio's first neighborhood, La Villita, "the little village," was originally established by Spanish soldiers stationed at the Alamo. Today it is a historic arts village that houses shops, art galleries and restaurants in Spanish, Mexican, German, and French-influenced residences. http://lavillita.com/ • SeaWorld San Antonio At 250 acres, it’s the largest marine life adventure park in the world. Take in a show with trainers and animals at Shamu Stadium, then set off to explore one of the four individual parks. The Great White is Texas’ first inverted steel roller-coaster; the Steel Eel treats riders to bouts of weightlessness; and the Lost Lagoon, the Texas Splashdown and the Rio Loco offer ways to get wet, from wave pools to slides and flumes. http://seaworldparks.com/seaworld-sanantonio/ • Six Flags Fiesta Texas With eight roller coasters and many more titillating rides, Six Flags Fiesta Texas is an adventure for the entire family. The Fiesta Bay Boardwalk, a 1950s boardwalk with a 90-foot Ferris wheel, is worth a visit even if you’re not that into coasters. And with an ensemble of award-winning shows and a layout that embodies the many cultures of Texas, Fiesta Texas is a must experience for any trip to San Antonio. • Tower of the Americas Here’s where to go for a panoramic view of San Antonio from 750 feet. Built for the 1968 World’s Fair, the tower recently underwent a series of renovations to the observation deck and rotating restaurant at the top; the latter now features upscale dining and a sophisticated bar area. A glass elevator will take you up to the Flags Over Texas observatory, with heart-stopping views all the way. Also brand-new is the Skies Over Texas 4-D ride, a swooping, spectacular tour of life in the Lone Star State. • San Antonio Zoo The third largest zoo in the U.S., the San Antonio Zoo is one of the oldest as well. A collection of animals was assembled in San Pedro Park in the 1800s. more animals were added in 1914. Today, more than 3,500 animals reside at the zoo, representing 600 special of animals on 56 acres. Forget lions, tigers and bears (oh my! They’re here too) – when’s the last time you’ve been up close with a fossa or a white-faced saki? • San Antonio Museum of Art Its 30,000-square-foot Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Latin American Art, houses the most comprehensive collection of Latin American art in the country. Its collection of Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, European and American paintings, and Asian and contemporary art is the most extensive in the region. Events include tea ceremonies and meditation workshops. Plus, it’s housed in the turn-of-the-century building that once was the Lone Star Brewery. How cool is that? • Buckhorn Saloon & Museum This 120-year-old saloon is a repository for real-deal cowboy and Old West history, as well as a strange but extensive horn, fin and feather collection. You used to be able to trade a deer antler (or horn, fin or feather) for a shot; now only U.S. dollars will do. .

  • Your Kids Are Going to Love
    10 Places In San Antonio Your Kids Are Going to Love www.chicagotitlesa.com 1. Brackenridge Park This sprawling park has way more than just green space — it encompasses a stretch of the San Antonio River and includes the Japanese Tea Garden, the Sunken Garden Theater, the San Antonio Zoo as well as ball fields and pavilions. Older kids can run off some energy on nearby trails while parents eat a family picnic. Before you leave, don’t miss a ride on the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, a miniature train that loops around pretty much the entire park. From its starting point right across from the zoo, it makes stops at a few different Brackenridge attractions, including the Witte Museum. 2. The DoSeum Since opening in 2015, The DoSeum has quickly become the go-to children’s museum in San Anto- nio — it’s full of hands-on activities for kids of all ages, from toddlers to fifth graders — though adults will admittedly learn a thing or two as well. The museum’s displays run the gamut, from celebrating creative arts to tinkering with science and technology. Specific exhibits include the Big Outdoors, the Sensations Studio (where kids can experiment with light and sound), an innovation station, and the Spy Academy. 3. Six Flags Fiesta Texas Families looking for an adrenaline fix while still spending time together should hit up Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Not only does the park have some of the best roller coasters in Texas, including the Superman Krypton Virtual Reality Coaster, Iron Rattler, and Batman: The Ride (the world’s first 4D free-fly coaster, which just might be as terrifying as it sounds), but it has rides and attractions for the whole family, regardless of age, energy levels, and attention spans.
